Can anyone help me?

My brother's birthday is next month and I've bought him a copy of 'The Children of Hurin' and would like to inscribe somthing elvish in it for him . Somthing along the lines of 'May you lead a charmed life' or 'may your destiny be blessesd''. Essentially an elvish 'Good luck, God bless' equivalent.

This may not be quite what you're looking for, but how about this Elvish greeting: "Anar kaluva tielyanna!" (Meaning, the sun shall shine on your path.) This phrase is from "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin" in the UT.

Of course, if you have the time and energy, browsing through Ardalambion's Quenya courses and writing your own sentence might be cool.
